Rebel Wilson has come out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community by introducing fans to her new girlfriend.

“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” the Pitch Perfect actress captioned a selfie on Instagram Thursday with new flame Ramona Agruma.

In May, Wilson teased that she was “happily” in a relationship but did not reveal the identity of her partner.

“I am now happily in a relationship,” she said on Jordana Abraham and Jared Freid’s podcast U Up. “I met them at a friend’s setup.”

Wilson, 42, added that she had been looking for love on dating apps, but she was ultimately introduced to her new significant other through a pal.

“I was on and off on the Raya app, but this was a friend setup,” she said. “He had known both of us for at least five years and he thought we would hit it off — and then we did!”

The pair has been hiding in plain sight, as the Senior Year star actually took Agruma as her plus-one to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March.

They also took a long-weekend trip to Park City, Utah, in April, where they attended an event together on behalf of Operation Smile.

Wilson and the Lemon Ve Limon founder have posed for tons of photos together on the comedian’s Instagram, though it initially appeared they were simply friends.

Agruma’s account is private, so it’s unknown what is being presented there or if she shared Wilson’s announcement.

The Isn’t It Romantic star, who has lost a tremendous amount of weight over the past year, last dated Jacob Busch, but the pair split in early 2021. She was then linked to tennis player Matt Reid.

Who is Ramona Agruma?

Ramona is a fashion designer and entrepreneur who is the founder of LEMON VE LIMON, a sustainable clothing company.

She also stars as a brand ambassador for Bee Goddess Jewellery.

In May, Rebel spoke with PEOPLE about her new partner but did not specify who it was.

“We spoke on the phone for weeks before meeting,” she said.

“And that was a really good way to get to know each other. It was a bit old-school in that sense — very romantic.”

“I think going through the process of finding more self-worth, I think that what you want in a partner is elevated, and so it’s great to have someone who feels like an equal partner and be in a healthy relationship,” continued Wilson.

“There were times - I’m not saying with all my exes, they’re great - but there were some times that I was probably putting up with that I shouldn’t have.

“So it feels different to be in a really healthy relationship.”
